gedit's dependancies changed. > Can't I just enable some default settings somewhere? You *DO* have "some default settings somewhere".

Sorry... you want/need several distinct packages. Most of them currently need python_single_target_python2_7, but gedit currently needs python_single_target_python3_4. Deal with it. That's what package.use is for. In a binary distro, everything can be synchronized to the same library dependancies. In a "rolling distro" like Gentoo, not every library/package is updated simultaneously. One package switches from python2_x to python3_x, and then another, and then another. Compare two options... PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4" in make.conf requires you to set X lines "foo-bar/package python_single_target_python2_7" in package.use PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" in make.conf requires you to set Y lines "foo-bar/package python_single_target_python3_4" in package.use Currently X > Y, so stick with 2_7 as the default for now. Over time, Y will increase, and X will decrease. When Y > X, switch make.conf to PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4" and list the exceptions in package.use. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
